A Haunted House is a spoof based on the movie Paranormal Activity starring Marlon Wayans.
Marlon plays Malcolm, a guy ready to take his relationship to the next level so he asks his girlfriend Kisha (Essence Atkins) to move in with him – despite friends telling him its a bad idea. Before she even gets in the house she runs over his dog and that sets the pace for what’s to come from their doomed relationship. Strange things start happening around the house, and it is not just her farting in bed or his drunkenly relieving himself on the carpet.
As the problems in their relationship excel its clear that the unwelcome force entering Malcolm’s life isn’t a ghost, it’s Kisha after she admits that she brought a demon into the house because she sold her soul for shoes. The film appears to disturbingly state that women are evil and are the root of all men’s problems. As Kisha becomes possessed by the ghost and her beatings by the men in the film get progressively more violent the script becomes even more misogynistic.
The film isn’t their funniest movie to date, but it is a film that is worth watching as you may find the supernatural sexual assaults hilarious, the continuing scare-gag with the housecleaning lady Rosa and the scene where they are ignoring each other and the ghost while trying to make a cup of tea so the ghost gets angry and starts destroying the house.
Since 1996 Shawn, Keenan Ivory and Marlon Wayans have been supplying us with ghetto spoof films from Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood to Scary Movie (2000), Scary Movie 2 (2001) and White Chicks (2004). They are apparently already working on a sequel and have to respect the hardwork and longevity the Wayans have had in their 17 plus years movie careers.
All in all this is a comedy movie not to be taken too seriously, its funny and at some points you may forget that your are watching a comedy film as some of the scenes will make you jump out of your seat, which makes this film quite different compared to your usually comedy horrors.
